Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor reported the sale of some of the stakes in the franchise, with Chinese investor Lizhang Jiang selling his five percent ownership in the franchise back to Taylor. Meyer Orbach, who bought 9.5 percent of the team in 2016, is in line to buy any shares Taylor sells.

The value of the Wolves keeps going up — Forbes put it at $1.26 billion earlier this year — something Taylor said he never expected.
